I am still enjoying my Canon, but have recently learned that I need another lens. Before you all start thinking that I am making up an excuse to go out and buy more 'stuff' let me explain my reasoning.
The 50mm lens I bought with my camera is amazing! I have really enjoyed taking photos and learning my camera with this lens. With that said, I have learned that I am limited in my photos. The lens is great to take portraits which is why I have so many pictures of Tyler (for those that don't know Tyler he is my 5 year old yellow lab). Now taking portraits is really fun, but I want to be able to take pictures of other things, like maybe a group photo. With the 50mm lens I am finding it difficult to take such photos because the lens will auto focus on the closest subject and somewhat blur everyone or everything else. Still, a really cool affect, but I would like a little more control over my pictures.
With that said, I have been looking at a few lens to buy. My father law recommended a great lens, the Canon 25-105 mm. It is a very nice lens with a very nice price tag. I have been looking in to the Canon 18-135 mm. This is a great lens that would let me take pictures of everything (landscapes, portraits, action shots, wildlife). I have a little more reading to do on the lens, but this may be at the top of my Christmas List...heads up Santa!
However I have been having fun taking photos with my current 50 mm lens. I have also been doing some reading on photo editing software and lightroom 3 looks like a great program. Currently I am using the HP media software that came with my laptop. It is not as powerful as lightroom, but does the job for now. Here are some of my most recent favorite photos:
